Chelsea will select a host of youngsters for their ‘Final Whistle on Hate’ friendly against the New England Revolution on Wednesday to freshen up Maurizio Sarri’s tired squad before planning a break ahead of the Europa League final.
Reece James, Trevoh Chalobah, Marc Guehi, Connor Gallagher and Jamie Cumming are all in line to make the trip to the United States, with Sarri concerned about managing his fatigued squad following their 120-minute Europa League semi-final, second leg against Eintracht Frankfurt last Thursday.
Guehi was an unused substitute in Chelsea's final Premier League match of the season against Leicester on Sunday, while James and Chalobah have recently returned from loan spells at Wigan and Ipswich respectively.
